Awakening Church

We’re live! Awakening Church is preaching Giving God’s Way.

Notes: The story of Ananias and Sapphira reminds us that God is not after our money—He is after our hearts. Giving was never meant to be a transaction, a way to gain status, or something done out of compulsion. It is an act of worship. The issue was not the amount they gave, but the deception in their hearts. God desires a people who honor Him with sincerity, generosity, and reverence. Every act of giving tears down the idol of mammon and declares that God alone is worthy of our trust, devotion, and worship. Healthy fear of the Lord produces wisdom, sets healthy boundaries, and leads us into a life that honors Him.

️ Key Highlights:
• Giving God’s way is worship, not a transaction. We give because He is worthy.

• Money is not the currency of the Kingdom—faithfulness, service, forgiveness, and faith are.

• Every act of generosity breaks the grip of mammon and strengthens our trust in God.

• God cares more about the condition of the heart than the size of the gift.

• Giving should flow from conviction, not compulsion, because God loves a cheerful giver.

• Healthy fear of the Lord leads to wisdom, spiritual protection, and a life aligned with God’s purposes.

• The question is not how much you give, but whether your heart fully belongs to God.

The weekend services. 🤯

There’s no better way to spend a beautiful weekend than gathered together in the house of the Lord. 🙌

🙌 We’re live! Awakening Church is preaching Common People, Astonishing God with Pastor Jordan Boyce.

📝 Notes:
In Acts 4:13, the religious leaders were astonished by Peter and John. They saw boldness they couldn’t explain, recognized that these were ordinary men, and realized they had been with Jesus. The same transformation that changed the disciples is available to us today.

The cross changes you.

When we place our faith in Christ and are filled with the Holy Spirit, God gives us a new identity, a new source of courage, and a new purpose. The disciples were not extraordinary people by the world’s standards. They were fishermen, workers, and everyday men. Yet through the power of Christ, they became bold witnesses who helped change the world.

A transformed life is marked by courage that comes from conviction, purpose that reveals God’s power through ordinary people, and a relationship with Jesus that leaves a visible impact on everyone around us.

🕊️ Key Highlights:

• Our courage comes from an inner conviction in Christ, not confidence in ourselves.

• The Holy Spirit transforms fear into boldness and uncertainty into conviction.

• Salvation gives us a new spiritual identity that is greater than our old limitations.

• God specializes in using ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary purposes.

• There is no such thing as “just” an ordinary person in the Kingdom of God.

• God often chooses the weak, overlooked, and unlikely so that His glory is unmistakable.

• The everyday parts of our lives can become acts of worship when surrendered to God.

• Who you spend time with shapes who you become.

• Walking with Jesus leaves a visible mark on your life.

• People should be able to recognize Christ through the way we live, speak, and love.

💬 Key Quote:
“The cross changes you. Walking with Jesus and being filled with the Holy Spirit transforms ordinary people into powerful witnesses for Christ.”

🙏 Salvation Invitation:
Have you been with Jesus?

Transformation begins in the soul before it changes the mind and the life. Jesus came to bring us out of darkness and into His marvelous light. Today, you can experience forgiveness, new life, and a completely new identity through Him.
